Looking for Advice...Sweet Business/Thunderlord

[ZTempest]

Okay, today I got two exotics practically back to back. One from Xur, the other was a random drop. From Xur I got Sweet Business, a kinetic auto rifle with some neat perks, and the random drop was Thunderlord -- the heavy machine gun.

Here is the thing..both are good weapons in their own way...but I am having a hard time deciding which to equip and stick to as a primary weapon. The main thing is ammo reserves. With Sweet Business, I literally never run out of ammo, and if I am smart about fights, the gun almost always reloads itself. With Thunderlord, the damage is incredible...but I often run out of ammo because the reserve is not very large, and heavy ammo drops are much rarer than primary ammo drops (which is what Sweet Business uses).

So...I am looking for some decent thoughts ...honestly, I am leaning toward Sweet Business as my "main" exotic weapon, and using Thunderlord situationally...I have decent legendaries in my other slots...although my energy slot is still giving me trouble ...in any case, any thoughts on this would be appreciated. If you had both, which would you go with?

with quests it s hard to get a concept of main, you can also change for pve/pvp

It really depends on the activity you're doing.
Unfortunately for you, both weapons specialize heavily on add clearing, stick to Sweet Business for easier stuff but switch to the Thunderlord with a couple heavy ammo finders when you absolutely NEED to kill those adds as quickly as possible.

Thunderlord with heavy ammo finder mods. Business is cool and fun but spin-up makes it impractical for primary ammo weapon even with the reload perk, imo
